O murus viridis, aetate verna renatus,
Quam pulchra es, quam plena vitae et spei!
Folia tua tenera, vento mota,
Susurrant canticum vitae incertae.
Sed sub pulchritudine tua,
Latet vis destructiva.
Radices tuae fortes,
Murum lapideum penetrant.
Sicut vita, sicut bellum,
Es tu pulchra et terribilis.
Es tu symbolum spei et destructionis,
Vitae incertae in mundo incerto.
O murus viridis,
Memento mori.
Memento belli.
Memento vitae incertae.
O green wall, reborn in the spring of life,
How beautiful you are, how full of life and hope!
Your tender leaves, moved by the wind,
Whisper a song of uncertain life.
But beneath your beauty,
Lies a destructive force.
Your strong roots,
Penetrate the stone wall.
Like life, like war,
You are beautiful and terrible.
You are a symbol of hope and destruction,
Of uncertain life in an uncertain world.
O green wall,
Remember death.
Remember war.
Remember uncertain life.
